The Firefox extensions I use

Mozilla Firefox has an amazing ability that no browser can match. Extensions allow you to extend Firefox to meet your needs that the default browser out of the box cannot do for you. With a few quick clicks, you can instantly install an extension and expand Firefox’s features.

Internet Explorer supports add-ons, but there is no real one-stop shop for them and most of them are spyware. As far as I know, Opera has nothing like extensions, although it has a lot of features out of the box.

So I thought I would share what extensions I have installed on my copy of Firefox. I could live without them, but it would make my time online vastly less productive and more dangerous. I make a general rule to try to keep an extension as simple as possible in order to avoid any bugs or major issues. For the most part, I have been able to avoid big extensions.

del.icio.us 1.1 – Haven’t used this much, but it makes adding sites to your del.icio.us account a snap.

Disable Targets for Downloads 1.0.1 – Ever get an annoying blank tab or window when you click on a download link? That window is forever gone after installing this extension.
